Answer:

D. confirmation bias

Explanation:

A confirmation bias, is a type of cognitive bias that involves favoring information that confirms your previously existing beliefs or biases. They impact how we gather information, and they also influence on how we interpret and recall information. The key word to know that it is a confirmation bias, is that if the person is following its beliefs. With this specific example, the factory foreman is making a confirmation bias by believing that older workers are not as motivated as younger workers, therefore, he is more vigilant of any signs of laziness among them.
